        Thanks to the calorimeter team for the rapid response in resolving integration overlaps last week.

      • FEMCal Issue 5m
        Speaker: Jin Huang (Brookhaven National Lab)

        It frequently aborts DIS event when particle hit particular parts of FEMC.  FEMC configuration: https://github.com/ECCE-EIC/macros/blob/master/common/G4_FEMC_EIC.C#L59

        This problem appears can be reproduced by this simple change in the macro, i.e. launching particle from the problematic location in FEMC. It would be interesting to know what G4 tracking is thinking with display and /tracking/verbose 3: https://github.com/ECCE-EIC/macros/commit/d53273dab5efa57861233cd16d03cf5f723194b3 and here is what I get:

          Likely geometry overlap - else navigation problem !
